Mid-October brought two new arrivals and lots of excitement to Firemist Farm. Kaareltje's filly Imari arrived home to join sister Ishin Maru, and just five days later In Italics joined the herd. Imari is a sensitive, intelligent filly who will be a huge asset to our breeding program. Italics, a sweet, personable baby who reminds us in many ways of his father, was calm and collected when he stepped off the trailer. He will be an amazing riding horse with his lovely movement and wonderful nature.
Imari (above) has joined sister Ishin in the field while Italics (pictured below with friend Amanda) enjoys his miniature companion Andromeda as he settles in and will then join his siblings and Jastriad in the pasture. It's wonderful to have Katje's babies all home safe and sound. We will spend the winter getting to know them as individuals and handling them daily. It will be a very special winter, indeed!
